[Q] Smashed Glass

Hello,
I dropped my i9000 Yesterday, and unfortunately the glass over the navigation buttons smashed (it is still fully functional and the screen is not broken)
is it possible just to replace the outer glass, and if so how much would it cost?
cheers

they sell these sort of parts on ebay im not sure if they will have what your looking for,
there is a guy on here called 'iammodo' he does repairs on the SGS.. he may be able to give you some advice... just put his name in the search bar.
hope u get it fixed

At work checking XDA lol.
you can replace the just the Glass with skill and luck but would void the warranty as the ebay part would be a fake.
As the offical part is most of the phone you only save the mainboard really.
If your in blackpool or by blackpool PM me and im sure we can sort something out.

Hey,
I did the same thing, got a replacement off ebay... the install isnt too bad... you just have to be SUPER SLOW when you take off the original screen from the navigation buttons (the buttons are like a sheet of wire which has been glued to the screen, removing is slow)
To be honest, i have replaced my screen a total of 3 times... The first time the screen replacement had a pink hue to it... I emailed the seller and he shipped a replacement which was fine... then i dropped the phone again and that stopped working, so i got a third which has been fine for the past 3-4 months.... well i guess it has been four times cause i replaced the second screen with the pink screen so i could have a working phone... then replaced the pink screen with the final good screen again.
but yes. the replacement screens on ebay are pretty cheap... a word of warning though, they are NOT gorilla glass, so no protection against scratches. and i am not sure if they are SAMOLED screens or not. they might be just lcd?

Instead of trying to do it yourself maybe its better to have it done here.

[BIG PROBLEM , SCREWED?]Screen Defect

Hello,
Well , I have a big problem with my SGS at the moment , the problem is that my screen is defect. Well , the screen still works as it should(touch , thank god) but I has alot of big scratches.
Believe it or not , but I dropped my sgs like 3 times before on 1 meter height on hard underground , It survived without scratches , btw I dont know if it did land on the screen so maybe thats the reason why my screen survived before. But today i was sitting and I had the phone in my pocket and when I wanted to stand up it dropped out of my pocket on the ground , from 0,5 meters height on a soft floor(carpet) but I discovered those big scratches and I was shocked
/Now the important part , is there any way to repair this???
By putting new glass on the screen or something? Maybe there is someone who experienced the same and knows how and where it got repaired?
Thanks in advance,
Picture of the state of my screen in attachments , sorry for the vga webcam quality.

Looks like the glass got shattered.
There would be no way to fix a Crack or a Scratch. You will have to replace the Digitizer and Display.

Dude, that's why you should use screen protector on it.

Sorry man. Some people just wouldn't use screen protector, but 1-5€ could have saved you from this.

'Defect' LOL. My car was 'defective' after I wrapped it around a telephone pole.
Would a screen protector prevent a shatter like that? Perhaps to a limited extent but I though they were mainly for scratches.
I do my SGS bareback. No significant scratches yet, I think last time I cleaned the screen up and looked really close I could see one tiny line.
I've dropped once onto pavement (dented the bezel) and once on a wood floor (flew out of my hand as I whipped it out and bounced across the room lol).

Sorry sir , if your screen(or glass whatever)is shattered. In fact , its also defect. 1. a lack of something necessary for completeness or perfection; shortcoming; deficiency
But who cares?
Looks like these general subboard is full of trolls , I'm asking for advice where and how to repair your screen when its in a state like this? All I get is people who try to act smart or whatever you wanna call it.

Thanks , never thought of looking @ assecories bord xD

You could try and replace it yourself which is probably cheaper or you can ring samsung and tell them what happened and have them replace it/send a new phone for you. Obviously it would cost you.

@dehem333
Very sad to hear that loss...
I have no idea how to fix it. But I pray that it gets fixed someway.
Wish u best of luck!

Well just replacing the glass is not gonna work because the touch digitizer and the glass are like one. So you,ll have to buy it completely new. Also its not easy to replace it. Its glued together. Youll need to be handy.
If your buying off ebay make sure its an amoled screen. Alot of lcds on ebay.

Broken Display!!!

My display is broken on Legend (just the amoled display, the digitizer screen is ok) some one can tell me where get a new one?
On ebay I found somes but the write that the dislay is a LCD not amoled, so someone can explain me? thanks for help!

Contact HTC and get a quote

You need lcd screen,not digitiser

Thanks for your help bonesy!!!..

I buy while ago display from ebay and replace it. Works like a charm. But there is still one problem. My digitizer never fits 100% on display and there is half mm space between housing and digitizer... I really don't know is that because of display or something else, just sharing my experience...

I bought on eBay and works great for me!

Broken Screen :/

I recently broke the gorila glass on my O2x, is there anyone who knows where to pick one up for a cheap price, or knows how replace it? Cheers

I saw a video on YouTube how it was done, if you're handy you can do it yourself. Over here a shop had it for around 50€
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Po8hBaZt__o

You have glasses on Ebay, for about 55$.

.... and lcd screens as well. Price is a bargain compared to local finds. Bought one and it runs perfectly!
Just sharing my experiance
Just be Very careful at 1:14. There's a lot of flexible cables around the edges under that cover (and I broke one of them :/ luckily it was for the second camera)

Thanks for the input guys, I might search around for a bargain.

Got mine repaired for 59 € after I sat on a screwdriver with the 2X residing in my backpocket...
that´s from a german ebay-store but you shouldn´t have to pay much more for a replacement "front piece" including LCD, Touch and front cover.

sorry to bring up a dead thread, but would this be fine in i just replace the front piece with the screen?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Touch-Sc...908?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43ab97f2fc

Yep, assuming that's all that's damaged. If you killed the IPS panel underneath the digitizer, you'll need that too.

That's the lcd screen underneath right? I'm presuming its not damaged due to the screen still producing the correct colour, so that's great.
Well any thank you, its appreciated
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App

Digitizer = the glass touch sensitive bit.
So if you busted that, there will be a big-ass crack in the glass, generally.

I just edited my last post before I realised you replied. & yes unresponsive cracks through the middle.
Cheers anyway.

That is quite a price drop. though I'm not much of a fan of buying outside of eBay...
& I also need the front piece. Plus I wont a white one. And it looks cool.

So much problem with the one?

Hello everyone,
I was about to buy the htc one, but they are out of stock atm.
so went home watch some reviews and stumble across this video
..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWWYc7ICUxI
He mentions a lot of build quality problems.
Can people with the phone confirm this?
Screen problem with light coming from the edge? dust on screen because of that? Sounds like a big problem, hope its just his model.
Also input lags, is he exaggerating things ? or can it be fixed by a buildprop command?

I have seen 4 HTC Ones. 2 with gaps and 2 without. You can return them and just state that is has build defect. Some stores will let you exchange it once and some twice but they will not keep opening boxes until you find a perfect one. The best advice I can give you is to open it in the store with a sales assistant present so they can see that it has a defect. And before you hand over your money be sure to ask if you can return it if there's a defect once they say okay for returning with defects, then open it in front of them.

Death grip?
THanks for the advice i'll definitely do that !
i saw another video who mention the death grip like with the iphone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ubr-Hzu894
can u guys confirm this?

No death grip here there are always going to be people who find faults. I mean if that's all you look for you are bound to find something. I suggest you chill and get the One open it up and just love it for what it is. You will not be disappointed.

it just get me that htc has such a poor quality control.. i'll be waiting for them to get things right before i jump on.. definitely joining the htc again this time around tho

Yes there are manufacture default. Gaps in casing, and screen that isnt glued on properly and doesnt flush with the casing.
Dust under the screen has been a problem with some phones by HTC for years.. was a common problem as far back as Nexus One. That HTC havent plugged the problem yet is beyond me. I think it will be less problematic with the one because alu case is sturdy and does not bend which caused screen sealing to crack on plastic.casings.
